  • Won't play Thursday
    Jerome (ankle) will remain on the sidelines for Game 3 versus the Magic on Thursday.

    Advice: Jerome is still recovering from ankle surgery and hasn't played since Oct. 27. Even if he's cleared to suit up during the postseason, he's unlikely to crack the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm
     
  • Won't play Thursday
    Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with Orlando.

    Advice: Porter has yet to play this postseason, but he's a negligible part of the rotation. His next chance to wear a uniform will come Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:39 pm
     
  • Questionable for Thursday
    Melton (back) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup with New York.

    Advice: Melton has not yet made an appearance this postseason, but he was able to practice Wednesday, so he does appear to be close. However, he'll likely have his minutes closely monitored once he is eventually cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:36 pm
     
  • De’Anthony Melton (back) questionable for Game 3
    De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) is questionable to play in Game 3 against the Knicks on Thursday.

    Advice: Melton has only been available to play in a handful of games since January, but there is a chance that he is back in the lineup for Game 3. He will likely play a limited role off the bench, but his shooting and defense could be an x-factor in this series, especially with the 76ers currently down 0-2. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) still out for Game 3
    Craig Porter Jr. (left ankle sprain) will remain sidelined for Game 3 against Orlando on Thursday.

    Advice: Porter Jr. isn’t part of the team’s playoff rotation when he is healthy, so his absence will not impact their minutes whatsoever. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:35 pm
     
  • Practices Wednesday
    Coach Nick Nurse said Melton (back) practiced Wednesday and is on track to suit up for Thursday's Game 3 against the Knicks, but the shooting guard will likely still be listed as questionable on the official injury report, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

    Advice: Melton has appeared in only five games since Jan. 12 and last suited up April 12, so even if he gets the green light, he'll presumably be eased into action. The sixth-year wing made only 38 regular-season appearances and averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:18 am
     
  • Used sparingly in win
    Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:16 am
     
  • Shines off bench in Game 1 loss
    Wright recorded 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 114-94 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

    Advice: Wright led all bench players in scoring in Game 1, connecting on all five of his three-point attempts while chipping in a couple of steals on the defensive end. Keep an eye on the status of Terry Rozier (neck) ahead of Wednesday's Game 2, as his potential return could impact Wright's workload. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:30 pm
     
  • De’Anthony Melton (back) ruled out for Game 2
    De’Anthony Melton (back injury recovery) has been ruled out for the 76ers Game 2 matchup against the Knicks on Monday.

    Advice: Melton is set to kick off a new week by missing his fourth consecutive contest. The 76ers guard has played sparingly in 2024 and his absence won’t affect Philadelphia’s current rotation. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:28 pm
